Watching Crap
It has been awhile since I have ranted about shows that I watch, so here it goes;
Battlestar Galactica - most likely the best written and profoundly the best acted of shows currently on air. If you haven't seen this show then I forgive you for not being the uber geek that I am. If you have been keeping up or even following behind the scenes, it's simply maddening. The plot lines have become so tangled and knotted that I have lost track of some of them. This latest episode I must say was the best I have every seen come from the writers and cast. SO often we have shows that have our upstanding good guys fall from grace, but as always they pick themselves up and dust themselves off. Far from that in this show. Adama's crash into drain of fate is second to Tye's. One reason I like this show is the act it's more a story about characters then a sci-fi about lasers and machines. I find myself astounded by the myriad of stories and possible futures that could come from actions being portrayed. The plot lines I most wnat to see; Kara resolve her issue with her husband, Tye come back to the bridge, and Why hasn't Gauis been killed? It simply tortures me that I can not tell what they producers or writers are going to throw my way. This show is by far of of the most complex shows out there.
Smallville - When I first heard that they would be having a few "guest" appearances on the show I was excited, well ok I almost creamed myself. Yes I am that much of a comic geek. First I was happy to see Green Arrow come into play. Last season was a very week and I dare to say troublesome season. One that I thought might spell the end. So far this season has been nothing but strong stories and even stronger appearances. As in my last blog I talked about all the appearances. This season is now gearing up to have a second appearance from one of the JLA's lesser know hero's, Jonz Jonzz or the Martian Manhunter. The Oreo, eating martian is from the old school of the JLA. A simpler times when heros were basically impervious and super. So adding him in a more darker and possibly leadership role is very interesting. BTW if the writers are reading this here are a few ideas about the next few appearances, FIRST BATMAN, uh duh!, 2. Wonder Woman, 3.Green Lantern (I dont care which one either), 4. The Specter, but the last one would never make it... Also (to said writers and producers) what about a show based on the New Gods Comic book with a merger of the show the OC meets The New Gods. Just mull that over. Teen angst, meets super power and the evil they must fight all tangled with dealing with stuffy parents. Ok I'm done...
Well if you like these show great. If you have never seen these shows, stop pretending you have a life and don't watch TV. Turn the channel from "America's Top Model" and watch some good TV>
